Extra Easy Days Starting Slimming World again for the third and final time!

[happylauren]

I'm Lauren, an 18 year old student.

Last year, I lost nearly 2 stone on Slimming World but I was so happy with my weight loss that I stopped thinking about what I was eating and I gained it all again over the summer. :break_diet:

But, now I am so motivated to finally lose the 5 stone I've wanted to lose for so long. I am at music school where all the girls wear beautiful clothes and I've realised how important it is for me to feel good about myself and feel comfortable in my own clothes.

I had a brilliant first week at Slimming World and I lost 4 and 1/2 lbs. I want to lose 3 and 1/2 lbs every week. I'm still feeling motivated and I really want to keep it up.

I can't wait to be slim! :queen:

Hey Lauren

Welcome back to SW I'm also on my 3rd and final time, we're gonna do it this time!!!

Well done on your first loss, that's great

The only thing I would suggest is set yourself a more reasonable goal. 3.5lbs each week isn't impossible, but our bodies are weirdos and some times the scales don't always reflect our efforts, and I find this leads to disappointment and loss of motivation, so you should really aim for a loss of 1lb a week, then anything else is a bonus. Please don't take that the wrong way - I just know how it feels to be 110% and not get the loss you expected at the end of the week.

Good luck hun xxxx

Thank you
Yes, maybe I shouldn't hope for 3 and a half pounds every week but make bigger goals, like 1 stone every 6-8 weeks. Good luck to you too! xxx

I re-joined last Friday for the 3rd time! Am worried that that my body will say not again, I'm not playing this time Fingers crossed we all do well this time.

3rd time is a charm, trust me! On my 2nd time around my body didn't play. But to be 100% honest, I wasn't in the right place in my head at that time, I was cheating a lot and really couldn't be bothered. But this time I so motivated! My body is playing along just fine and I'm not cheating. If I eat too much, I admit it, I never feel bad about it because that's what leads me to falling off the wagon! A constant PMA is the key!

Good luck! x

Hi Lauren, congratulations on such a great 1st week

I am going back to class tonight - also for the third and final time. This time I have set reachable goals and I also plan my whole week in advance so I know exactly what to buy and I can make sure i'm getting my healthy extra's in and using my syns sensibly. Hoping for a slimmer me by summer. Good luck!!!

Good luck!!!
This is my 3rd time too (2008 lost 2 st, then joined again 2009 - only lasted about a month lol! then had another baby, and now im back for the LAST time lol!) You can do it, just think positive, and give yourself mini goals like i do in my signature, reward yourself every step of the way!!! xxx

Another third timer here .

First time I lost nearly 5 stone but I pushed too hard and never recovered from a Christmas free for all.

Second time I wasn't really in the zone, struggled to lose 2 stone then caved in.

Third and final time I'm determined to make permanent changes. I know what I need to do to lose the weight and am resolved to keep eating the Slimming World way for life so I don't put it back on.

We can do this girls! As someone already said third time's the charm.

I wish you all the best with 3rd time lucky, actually luck has nothing to do with it. It's hard work and dedication which will win the day.
